Hi Henry,
How is that different from the 172.x.x.1/2 setup I have tried to get NUC and BridgeII to communicate?
Why do you say that fixed IP should be in the 10.x.x.x range, and then propose IPs in the 5.x.x.x range?
Why do you believe that would have a negative impact on SQ?

Hi Henry,
No need to apologize! I am just wondering if there is any difference using the 5.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x IP compared to the one I have used? If you know?
Thanks for your input!
The stipulation is the IP address is private which applies to both the 5 and 10 range. There is no difference in performance between them, but the purpose of the exercise in the example given in Danny’s example was to completely isolate the end point from any external traffic including remote access and internet access. I think Danny makes it clear he doesn’t think the extra isolation is significant in performance terms but what he suggests should work. If you have a working solution I doubt there is any point in changing it.
It is working!!! Thank you so much everyone for your help! Thumbs up to you guys 
I have used a cross-over cable. Does it matter, or can I buy a cinnamon cable and expect that to work too?
not unless you can find a cinnamon crossover cable. In a direct connection, cross-over cable may be needed.
An ethernet crossover cable is an obsolete thing … I’ve not seen a device in 10+ years without an autosensing port.
The NUC has them.
